Nokia to release new Windows Phones quickly and frequently

Nokia could launch its first Windows Phone some time this year, and when it does, the firm plans to set a quick pace to get more phones into the market. Speaking in an interview with PCMag, Nokia’s executive vice president of smartphones, Jo Harlow, discussed Nokia’s roll-out strategy. “We should be launching new devices in a rhythm that might be every couple of months, every three months, something like that,” Harlow said. Unlike HTC and Samsung, which see Windows Phone as a “secondary platform,” Harlow argues, Nokia will use the operating system as a primary platform. “We’re going to keep coming with new devices in order to have something to talk about,” she explained. Earlier reports have suggested that Nokia will launch as many as 12 new Windows Phone handsets next year, including a few with dual-core processors.

Only a few with dual core processors.. that will be 2012 … in 2011 people are mad that their phone doesn’t have dual cores… by 2012 it will be inexcusable

not everyone is raving about dual-cores. Especially since wp7 is extremely resource economical and there are no applications on either platform that can utilize that power yet.
beginning of 2012 is quite acceptable to start rolling out dual-cores, which is what i think they are aiming for.

Really looking forward to the first Mokia phone: proprietary OS with little 3rd party sw support and comes with blue screen of death and Nokia delays to the market by 8-12 months :)

Best of both worlds :)

(sorry, couldn’t resist)

Do you even know what the cause of a BSOD is? No offense man but if you are going talk trash, at least have some idea what it is you’re smacking on about.

Tell that sir, to Acer, LG and Dell.

Do you know anyone with an Acer or Dell phone? I thought about getting a Venue Pro, but a 4″ screen? Seriously?

LG’s sales are dwarfed by Samsung as well – a company who makes (or copies) good looking, quality feeling phones. Mind you, the stuff on the inside is probably iffy (GPS issues, multiple unannounced firmware builds – which is why Samsung WP7s have update issues) but you can’t deny that they look good.

How about just one phone a year that’s actually desirable. Hmmm now who actually does that???

Haha. The worldwide demand and sales would disagree with you.

When Nokia says phones, they mean variants.

Exact same innards (N8 module), but with some diffferences in form factor, color, amount of memory and camera module (E7, C6-01, X7, etc) with artificial removal of software features to target various user and price segments.

Nokia can produce one phone module for Smart phones in 2.2 years. That’s their time-to-market lag.

They need to cut it in half to survive alone in this market.

Otherwize ZTE will eat them alive even in the WP7 space, which is the only remaining life boat that Nokia has left.

Aa

Well there’s a reason not to buy one……….

This just in; Nokia to go bankrupt if it doesn’t do something (anything) besides constantly release press releases about what it will be doing in the future.

At some point don’t they have to shit or get off the pot?

Whatever they do i hope they don’t use that design. Thats very ugly but I do like the color.

I played with the WP7 HTC Trophy yesterday; utter garbage.
Has a “Mobile” browser although there is a “Desktop” feature setting.
You can’t view anything on Youtube via browser, unless you install an app and the phone I was testing wasn’t logged on with a Microsoft I.D.
U.I. is hideous and, seemingly, there is no way to customize it.
Moreover, the OS just seemed confused and conflicted; I would rather use iOS.

Glad, though, I made the move to Android when I bought my EVO.
